Medical Matters: Trisomy 18 also known as Edward syndrome

In today’s Medical Matters, we shed light on Edward's syndrome, also known as Trisomy 18. This rare genetic condition poses significant challenges for those affected and their families. Having recently discovered Edward’s syndrome through The Makhs on YouTube, who disclosed their newborn's diagnosis, I felt it was important to bring in an expert to educate us and provide further insight into this condition. Are you aware of Edward’s syndrome? Maybe you know someone who was diagnosed with it, join me and my guest, Dr Engela Honey, Senior lecturer in the Department of Biochemistry, Genetics and Microbiology at the University of Pretoria in this discussion.
